Meltaway Cabbage is one of the recipes that is in the new edition of Simply in Season. I think they wanted more cabbage recipes. After all, many people don’t know what to do with it other than coleslaw or sauerkraut. I know I didn’t! That’s one of the great things about trying to east locally – finding new and surprising things to do with vegetables. Who knew that cabbage could be a star?
CLICK HERE FOR PRINTABLE VERSION: Meltaway Cabbage
1/4 cup butter
1 large onion, diced
2 Tbs paprika
1 head cabbage, shredded
2 tsp salt
1 lb pasta
1. Melt butter in Dutch oven or large soup pot with a heavy bottom.
2. Add the onion and saute’ for about 10 minutes, until very soft. (Make sure it doesn’t burn. Ask me why. And oh, this step smells soooo good!)
3. Add paprika and saute’ briefly. Add cabbage and salt, stir to coat vegetables with paprika, cover and cook on very low heat for one hour, stirring occasionally, until cabbage is very soft. The longer the cabbage cooks, the sweeter it will be.
4. Mix the egg noodles or pasta in, and add pepper to taste. Serve with sour cream.
Servings: 6
The verdict: While not exactly melting away, the cabbage was very soft and had an excellent flavor from the butter, onion, and paprika. DH took his serving up a notch by adding feta cheese. Of course he wanted to add chicken or steak tips – maybe even sausage. I thought it was great as is.

This is close to something I make but I add brown sugar and I am heavy on the black pepper. It is delicious. I want to try it, your way. Sounds great.

Sounds great; a new way to cook cabbage (which is always good)! I also like cooking cabbage with sauteed garlic and chicken broth.
